Specification of Letters Patent;

Patented July 10, 1906.

Application filed September 24. 1904:. Serial No. 225.845.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. STUMM, a citizen of the United States, residin at Brier Hill, in the county of Fayette an State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful- Im rovements in Toilet-Cases, of Which the fo owing is a specification.

This invention relates to toilet-cases.

The objects, of the invention are to im rove and simplify the construction of suc devices.

Withthe foregoin objects in view the invention resides in t e precise combination and arrangement of parts and in the exact details of construction hereinafter described and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete article or device. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through thel back plate of the device and end elevation of the receptacles. Fi 3 is a top plan view of one of the receptacles, showing the fingergpening between the front sections or arts.

ig. 4 is a erspective view of one of t e receptacles, s owmg the fastening lugs or projections.

It will be perceived that the essential features of the irnprovements embody a suitable back plate an a plurality of receptacles secured thereto, which are provided With openings in their front plates constituting fingeropenings to afford convenient access to the contents of the receptacles. These receptacles may be of any desired size to suit the oses of holdin the articles to be deposite therein, and t ey maybe made of an suitable material adapted to maintain their shape', such as stiff pa er or light sheet metal, an they may be ma e with such surface ornamentation as ma be appliedthereto.

Referring by re erence-notations to the drawings, 1 designates the back plate of the device, which, as stated, may be of any suitable material and be made of desirable edge contour and of such size as to meet the requirements of the size of the receptacles to be attached thereto;

2 designates the receptacles. These are secured to the outer face of the back piece or plate and are com osed of a bottom 3, formed with a downwar y-directed fian e 4, and integral' end pieces 5, and both the ottom and the end pieces are provided with rear extensions 6, which are projected through slits or slots made in the back iece and the projecting ends then turned own, whereby the receptacles are held securely to the back piece, substantially as seen in the drawings. The front pieces of the receptacles are cut away at the central portion, as at 7, which opening extends a distance into the bottoms of the receptacles, as shown, and forms a fingers ace whereby the pins or other contents of the receptacles may be removed without the dan er of the fingers being pricked, or the comb from the rece tacle may be removed with convenience. Xbout the opening 7 the receptacles are provided with flanges 8, whereby the parts are strengthened at these portions.

It will be readily perceived that the finger opening or space in the front side of the receptacle and extending into the bottom thereof aifords visual opportunity to ascertain whether the comb is in place and also affords convenience in removing the comb from the receptacle without injury to the tipsof the fingers by contact with the points of the teeth. The same security a ainst dama e to the fingers is assured by t e o enings w en ins or other sharp things are eposited in t e smaller rece tacles.

Having thus descri ed my invention, what I claim is- In a toilet-case, the combination of a back plate provided with a series of transverse slots and a pair of slots above and erpendicular thereto, a receptacle provide with a finger-recess and having a front wall, a bottom wall, and two side walls; said bottom Wall having its rear edge slitted to provide flanges adapted to fit through the transverse slots, and bent downwardl against the front and rear walls of the bac plate; said side walls having their u per rear ends provided with flanges adapte to fit into the erpendicular slots and secured thereto at right angles to the flanges of the bottom wall.

, In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM E. STUMM.
